Thanks so much for watching! For daily discussions around ESO, I recommend joining our Discord server: discord.com/invite/F3Zd2ZzJNh
Also loved recommending other youtubers for their parses instead of including it in your video. Sharing the love is cool
Thank you so much for the Video and especially for including the Infitnite Archive in every categorie of the build, amazing!
thank you!
MagBlade since 2019. 🥰 Thank you for giving it some love. Great video as always. Keep it up!
Perfect, as always, thank you bro!!
Thanks, been waiting for this! Excellent video!
Nice timing! I’ve been leveling my nightblade with the event
I love seeing the Kvatch Gladiator suggestion. I used it on my one bar Arcanist to help push execute on an Earthen Root Enclave trifecta because those execute phases on the first and last boss are no joke.
It can really make a difference for sure!
I can’t get anyone to try kvatch gladiator on DDs for ansuul to make execute faster. I want to though.
Ive watcthed this video like ten times already
Great Video, everything was very well explained, keep up your Guides
Thanks! Hopefully it’s helping people figure things out!
Dude, so much work in this video
Ely good
Thanks! Small changes for u41 are on the website in the top section under “builds”
Thx a lot for the NB build. Glad to see the old classes also get their builds updated in video form. To me it feels like only Arcanists get all the love lately 😢.
Between Skinnycheeks and NinjaPulls there should be an updated build for most DD roles.
Thanks Skinny.
Love all the alternate suggestions! Kind of tired of those other tubers with their totally impractical doesn't really work in actual content ~140k builds.
Purge on the backbar is also handy to remove 3 status effects for your group
Thank you for the video. Top notch as always. What would be the flex spots with bow / bow setup? Also if shadow click is present which potions do u use?
SkinnyCheeks i love you, thanks u for u videos!
Hi thanks for the video ! Will you do one for the templar with this update ?
the best video! thank you !
thank you!
@skinnycheeks. Did Bee give you his skill bar setup bye chance?
Thanks so much for making video. Always can count on you to get us top ESO content.
ty :)

I usually just have my nightblade for pvp, but this looks pretty good. I definitely wanna try it out for a trial now.
just keep in mind next patch concealed weapon won't give major berserk anymore so it won't be needed unless it is your main spammable.
what do you replace it with though if it was just for the major berserk@@skinnycheeks
I remember times when 38k DPS was awesome...
Just rolled one! Level 6 and counting. Think I'm going to go with magicka, like I usually end up doing with all my toons. xD
Good stuff
Thanks!
I main Nightblade.. so thanks for this Skinny!! :) Been playing Baldurs Gate lately tho :D..
Same actually lol
@@skinnycheeks I forgot to ask.. what skills and cp were used for archive?
What are the skills for 1 bar?
I was literally going to ask for this yesterday 😂
I watched both of those parses for stam. How is it they were able to change skills mid fight? Both parses change what there skills are after the initial burst at beginning of the fight. I would love to see more realistic parses that can be done on console. If you have recommendations I would love to see those. I always enjoy your content and hope to see more!
Awesome as always!! Do you have plans on updating your Warden guide for Update 40? :)
Thank you! I don’t think so, sorry
hey cheeks what skill setup would you run for oakensoul ranged build??
Hello, I am doing your STAM NB DW/2H build, is there any way you can make a leveling CP, I just do not know where to put my CPs like in what order? Thanks, great content. I did see the picture of the CP thats in your written page but it does not explain what to put first like as in leveling CP before CP 160/300.
Guys, i don't understand. So what skills and attributes need for Infinite Archive?
Heya skinny, thanks for all the great guide and explanation. I have a small question. Is velothi a good mythic on nightblade? From lots of parse it does seem like most of our dmg comes from light attack and it does seem like it would gimp it. Also the pen wouldnt help in a trial group setting would it since we could easily hit pen cap 😊?
Depends on the situation and the fight. It is definitely good for some though. Remember too, light attacks are only single target and pen levels are not always kept up perfectly in groups!
Amazing video. With the upcoming changes to Concealed Weapon, would Leeching Strikes be a good replacement to sustain health longer for a bow/bow build? Also do you have an ideal rotation here?
Thanks. You’ll want siphoning not leeching. That changed too. And you won’t need concealed anymore, no. I don’t really have a set rotation. Just keep the dots up. Try and have them all running while Incap is going so you are only spamming. Fire your bow procs as soon as possible each time.
I miss the days when Mag used light and double staffs and Stam used Dual daggers and a Bow. Best of times.
yep light armor is obsolete, hybrid has lost any meaning to magic vs stam dmg might as well rename all ability's to just damage remove magic/stamina names
What is the IA heartland/troughs rotation and cp?
Been out of the game for a long while.
Why is hybrid NB a thing? And also seems like bleed dmg is very good?
can you recommend a oakensoul heavy attack build please
One question i have:
I am new into the game and dont know what class to play.
I maybe want to go for NB (maybe bow using) and meele (i want to switch between if possible)
But its kinda sad all skills are only on bow for range skill....
And what skill points?
Magicka or stamina?
What u recommend for leveling to 50 and also using it for pvp?
I dont like switch builds, since i know the binds
What u say?
Ty a lot
Are Mag Nightblades also using coral riptide?
I haven't played in a couple years, so if i'm running ranged magblade am I wearing medium armor now or still light? All this hybrid stuff is confusing me.
sweet! just made my first NB, played the game for years on console then moved to pc. havent played in a few years loving all the changes ZOS have made. Think you will be doing anything for Stam Necro anytime soon?
Best choice to moove on PC !!!
Hey there! Wouldn't you want the Nirnhoned in the offhand for the Dual Wield Expert passive?
Or am I missing something, could be, I'm new.
off-hands are heavily reduced amounts compared to the main hand. the dual wield expert lifts that up a little but it is still far lower value than the main hand.
what about the new EA set? 18% siphoning damage?
I had a question play. Magicka/Stam Hybrid Build, DW Double Daggers with Staff, i thought about to use elemental weapon or crushing weapon from psijic, is it worth to have, or can i push more dps with these skills?
Wait so what passives do we use?
what’s about the other cp points?
It's better if I go for endurance with my attributes or rather magicka I play bow and staff
Whats the Single Bar Stamina setup (for dual wield, please?) I like the Nirn + Aegis Caller set up - but it'd be good to know what skills to use with it too, please?
I believe you asked the same question in the discord and I answered there :)
Skinny, PLEASE, what are the skills for Oakensoul heavy attack build, pleaseeeee?? Magicka, please
If i have to use killer's blade and concealed weapon in ranged setup, i'd rather go melee, because why using bow if you still have to get into melee range?
Would the build work as a redguard
You may have but I haven't seen any new builds for DK😢 cuz this is my preferred class I'm really having a problem with l.a. loss on the Arcanist it feels really weird. I probably butchered that name sorry. Anyway I would love to see a new update for the Dragon Knight I prefer magic but stam is good too. No pressure😂
Can you do necromancer?
Hello, can I use dw/bow for stamina nightblade and what race would you recommend? Thanks for the video
Yeah definitely. Whatever race you like but Dark Elf, Orc, and Khajiit are probably the most popular for stam. Followed closely by Imperial, Wood Elf, and Redguard.
❤
Damn. Concealed Weapon got nerfed, no more minor berserk from that. What's another option now?
What should i run instead of concealed weapon after the change? It no longer grants 10% damage to all abilities
Ele weapon
Would it be a bad idea to go with a bow on your main bar and dual wield on back up?
You could do that!
Any reason for no self heal? what skill would you switch for a self health
You have healers in group content
I’ve found it awkward to get Twisting Path to actually get Concealed Weapon to proc - is there some trickery to this?
It’s cause the shape of the cone of twisting path is kind of funny
@@skinnycheeks ah, that makes sense, thank you. I wish it were easier to see its area.
Really love the skill loadouts and the variety of weapon setups you showed - dual wield front bar with bow back bar has been a fun one for me
Sorry if it was asked already (I know you must be super busy with the new patch) but for the magicka setup with swallow soul, do I go bow or light staff?
You can do either of those with swallow soul
@@skinnycheeks ty!!
Dw + bow is viable?
I did call you on aegis caller on a previous video. But personally I think Aegis > Nirn, cause the tank won't just sit there and wait to see 2-3 nirn procs AND THEN ONLY MOVE.
Why not use surprise attack as a spammable instead of rapid strikes and add another dot?
Well this current patch you drop concealed anyways cause they changed it. So either way you have room for another dot. Check out my latest vid, it has a stamblade setup in it that works either way either rapid strikes or surprise attack
Who woukd you go for mag nightblade. Dark or High elf? I would like the best race if possible but i love both races 😭
they are pretty much identical for damage. high elf will sustain your stamina off-resource a little better and dark elf will be flexible to swap to stamina based and continue to get the highest results there too.
@@skinnycheeks thanks so much brother! Appreciate the response 💯
Velothi amulet better for a magblade then kilt?
Depends on the fight and your crit dmg lvls
builds is perfect for stam melee, but is the sustain enough for bosses ? bcs u didnt put any healing skill nearly
how we going to stay alive
Healers keep you alive
can u combine bow with the daggers instead of the 2h
@@gxth8043 yep!
Thanks!
Sadly even though blade CAN output damage. You won't get picked for most groups. Yeah, you can always make your own, but still. Arcanist is just too easy and does too much damage right now. The fact that most groups run full arcanists or at least 6 is dumb. Hopefully the other classes will get a glow up to match the Arcanist, as I feel a nerf isn't the way either.
Yeah really they’d just need to up the AoE dmg potential of some of the ground aoes by a lot for other classes and it would buff them for pve without messing with pvp
@@skinnycheeks I feel like upping the dmg of neutral abilities won't help, since that's just a blanket buff, and in terms of blade, the only one would be path. In my opinion going back to class identity is the best thing that they can do. Nightblade is clearly the thief/assassin class, which is known for outputting the most damage most of the time*. The problem is, pvp is only balanced by a blanket ruleset that does not solve problems at all, and puts blades specifically in a spot where, if they are strong in pve, they are a nightmare in pvp, and if they are strong in pvp, they are mid at best in pve. The Battle Spirit passaive needs rethinking, and some other things need to be considered for it to work once more. Having Surprise Attack always crit on flank, like it was for like... 1 pts cycle, would be great in order to have stamina based setups not run concealed weapon, which not only feels awkward, but its UGH from game design perspective. Once pvp and pve are correctly balanced, blade can be balanced to have pve performance once more. I would love for some of the passives to change as well, maybe make it so blades do more damage direct based on target's maximum health, or something linked to direct damage. And even finally find a way to make invis worth CASTING in pve, idk. As of now, this class is sadly 'copeblade'.
Meta teams have always chosen the top dps for each patch as filler. This year, the same year new class was released, its hot topic. Just like always the next year will change that.
God I am so out of date. I haven’t played in 4 years and just came back to the game. Still rocking ilambris mask, Mothers Sorrow, & Perfected False Gods gear.
5:09 me at 25% with both of those champions points 💀 im so lost and behind omg lmao.
12:56 is perfected false gods just not good anymore?
What happened to dual staves 😭
Returning player here: how effective would the bow magblade be in the current patch? I guess Concealed weapon can be swapped out for something else since the change?
Yeah mostly everything still works. But yah you can drop concealed now like you said
@@skinnycheeks ty vm!
Hi thanks for the builds . Your running Velothi Amulet which reduces your light/heavy attacks by 99% ,but on your front bar you have grim focus or the other morph which relies on light/heavy attacks and is rapid strikes consecutive light attacks , can you explain for me pls thanks for your help. Im running the Belharzas band .
Grim focus requires light attacks to activate, yes. You still want to use them even if their dmg is reduced. This is because they also proc your enchantments and generate ultimate. So just because you use Velothi doesn’t mean you stop light attack weaving. Rapid strikes are not light attacks, no. It is a separate ability.
gg
Why does nobody do double staff builds anymore ?
there is a double staff setup in there. they made inferno front bar really weird for a lot of classes though so that's why you don't see it as much. plus sustain is bad
Be the one that brings it back Rilkesy :)
@@skinnycheeks is that because they just boost dot-damage now?
im just wondering, if thats the case then i guess, you would just use them on dot-heavy builds right?
@@skinnycheeks can see any staff builds all are dual wield front bar and staff back bar
Even with back bar staff is rear to see...mag builds with bow and 2h is just no for me...
NB Rule ❤🎉
Medium armor with a magicka build??
u can get without kilt 51 % Crit Hit, with dw double daggers buffed maybe 69 % so if u use kilt too, u buff more crit in. Light Armor isn't bad for ress reg, but u have less crit dmg, medium give u crit dmg, light crit hit.
Did they put a timer back on for us xbox plebs or do we still need to use perma effects? Jesus 🙄
As always thank you sir cheeks. Really feels like only 4 classes are being used these days (all arcs besides zens/ec/mk). Hopefuly they give NB snd others some unique utility soon.
Is there something I can swap grim focus out for ? I love the ability but the glow messes up fashion which is important to me 😂
can just deslot it when you aren't in combat. it's pretty much their best ability, you don't wanna lose it for battles.
@@skinnycheeks I know! I love the ability , just don’t like the effect lol! Would be nice if they added a toggle on/off feature for it!
@@skinnycheeks on another note could I run ring of the pale order with this build ? :)
@@ronin9283 yeah definitely
Wished he had a stam skill setup for bow/dw or bow/1h... i know we're so picky. I guess this loadout just isnt recommenddd
I think you can make that work with what I have here though. Just mix and match the different pieces :)
@skinnycheeks
Thanks for the great videos and website
PS are u going to do any pvp builds in the future?
The difference between mag and Stam nb is the Magicka glyph 😭😭😭😭
bit more than that lol
I miss my nightbae. Been too unmeta for too long.
so - don't follow the meta
used to like playing stam nb, but arcanist is just too good and easy
Do people use medium on magblade now?
bruh, what has this game come to
What do people use in dungeons? for magicka nightblade?
I don't see 1 bar skills
Didn’t include them. Sorry haven’t put that part together. Good luck!
Thankfully the servers are down as I write this. 😆 🤣
never understood 30 mins guide that don't even show gameplay. weird
I dont believe you do 136,000 damage per second.
Ok
@@skinnycheeks y u lyin
